TOKYO (Reuters) - The female panda at Tokyo's Ueno Zoo may be pregnant, raising hopes that the pitter-patter of tiny panda paws will be heard there for the first time in more than two decades.
Two pandas, female Shin Shin and male Ri Ri, arrived in Tokyo from China in February 2011 and went on view to the public soon after a devastating earthquake and tsunami the following month, providing some welcome good news.
Hopes for a baby began after the two pandas were recorded on camera mating earlier this year.
